It entirely recites:
Ubzar ni kâmin
Aznân taburrudi
Iklal tanzifi bashukimâ
Uzbar ni kâmin
Gilim Sanzigil
Shakar ra udlag
Ubzar ni kâmin
Tada aklat gagin
Ugrûd tashurrukimâ
Maku kataklutimâ?
Askad gabil
Tashfati ni azanân
Kâmin takalladi!
Tabriki! Takarraki
Maku zatansasimisâ?
Urus!
Urus ni buzra!
Arrâs talbabi fillumâ!
Ugrûd tashniki kurdumâ!
Lu! Lu! Lu!
Urkhas tanakhi!
That is in neo-khuzdûl:
Deeper into the earth
The dark grows heavy
Cold snaps our bones
Deeper into the earth
There, the glint of Mithril
sharp and far away
Deeper into the earth
That sound again
Dread surrounds us
Can no one hear us?
A great shadow
Moves in the dark
The earth shakes!
Cracks! Splits!
Can no one save us?
Fire!!
Fire in the deep!
Flames lick our skin!
Fear rips our heart!
No! No! No!
The demon comes!
Sung by the Maori Samoan Choir, it is divided into three groups from 04:19. One singing long notes, a second one singing the chanting continues (in italic) and a third one singing deep notes in the same rhythm as timpani and deep strings – one short note and one long note (in brackets and in italic, almost impossible to hear under the orchestra). Also, the chorus is often divided into two groups where one group sings a long note (Arras, Ugrud, Urkhas…) and the rest just continue chanting.
